OneWeb CEO Talks Eutelsat Deal With Chairwoman

OneWeb CEO Neil Masterson cited benefits if it's combined with Eutelsat (see 2106110003) in a meeting with FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel, per a docket 22-353 filing Tuesday. OneWeb said it also opposed potential sunsetting of protections for non-geostationary orbit systems authorized in earlier processing rounds from systems in later rounds, since coordination "is working." It lobbied against expanded terrestrial use of the 12.2-12.7 GHz band, arguing it could cause harmful interference, and urged the agency focus instead on the 12.7-13.25 GHz band for more terrestrial use.
